When the elder Hank Locklin sang a tear-jerker like “Danny Boy,” his piercing, sorrowful voice could make people shiver. The Birmingham News in 2001 called that voice “a trembling hillbilly tenor,” adding that it “rises and falls like some lonely backwoods highway in the great by and by.”"

I was reading your post on the passing of Jimmy Boyd and remarked to myself: "It's so sad to see good people go." But when I scrolled down to read of Hank Locklin's death, it really hit me hard. R.I.P., Hank.
